Tube Preamp Recommendations


Looking for used tube preamp recommendations to go with my Bel Canto EVO amp. Budget is 800-1000. Thank you for your suggestions.

I've owned the Evo amp also and to get the best sound out of it you will have to go with a tube pre amp. The ss pre amps will not give you the 3d sound. The CJ pre amps would work well with it, the BAT VK30SE does not!
If you are only using one source such as a cdp, then try the EVS nude attenuator. I have used this with the EVo and the SCD-777ES SACD. This works well for $250 IMHO.
Need neutral, holographic, natural sound? Need features like remote and headphone? Need HQ construction and support. I can recommend Sonic Frontiers Line 1, but it's about $1200-1400. used. The older hybrid SFL-1 is also excellent for $600-750. used. Happy Hunting. Craig.
